Long distance truck drivers in India: HIV infection and their possible role in disseminating HIV into rural areas.

Y N Singh1, A N Malaviya.   

Abstract

In this study, a large number of truck drivers were found to be having sex with the prostitutes in rural areas along the highways of India. Some were having sex with men also. HIV/AIDS awareness and condom use was poor among them. Three out of 302 truck drivers were found to be infected with HIV. The truck drivers could play an important role in the spread of the infection in rural India.
